TheatreWorks New Milford is taking on the coming-home story of an adventurous photojournalist and her boyfriend, a foreign correspondent, in “Time Stands Still,” by Pulitzer-winner Donald Margulies.

When the drama opens, Sarah, the photojournalist, has returned to Brooklyn, N.Y., after suffering injuries while covering a war zone. Her boyfriend, James, is riddled with guilt for having left Sarah alone.

Theirs is a partnership based on telling the tough stories, and together making a difference. But when their own story takes a sudden turn, the couple confronts the uncertain prospect of a more conventional life. They must explore the responsibilities they have to themselves, each other and the world at large.

Directed by Sonnie Osborne, of New Milford, “Time Stands Still” opens Friday, July 10, and runs through Aug. 1.
